Plot: After Red announces that the week so far at the lodge has been quiet, Mike walks in and claims to have seen a ghost in the lodge late the previous night. After a brief conversation, the door into the lodge suddenly opens and closes by itself. Afterwards, Mike goes out and tells the other men about the ghost, despite being the only one who actually saw it, while the other start claiming things are being moved around, messing up the lodge. Mike then comes up from the basement with an old newspaper from the 1950s, telling Red that the ghost is actually a lodge member named Henry Thorquson, the "Possum Lake Wiggler" (which he invented and only ever made one), who Red claims died in a plane crash. Later that night, Red and Mike wheel in a crate and place it in the middle of the room. Mike then places the "Possum Lake Wiggler" in the crate, Red turns the lights off, and Henry's ghost enters the lodge and goes into the crate. Mike then closes the crate, only for it to start moving by itself, with Mike sitting on it. But he gets off just before it leaves the lodge.
